A rouge turned vicar meets a girl who doesn't care for the rules of society yes, please! I've never read a story with a vicar and boy do I need more spicy vicars after this one. These two are scandalous in all the best ways with their banter and discovering they can be themselves while following their hearts and dreams.
Gigi is quite ahead of her time with how she chooses to live her life scandal and all but she is set on being her own person and not letting others rule her life. She does get a bit aggressive when pushing the limits and challenging Thomas to be himself, but it is exactly what he needs and she grows on you. I can tell she is being torn apart by her family's struggles and her father's health and I think that's what makes her push limits and challenge things because she wants to help without giving up herself.
Thomas left his life as a rouge behind him to become a vicar, but that doesn't mean the ladies of the small country town are going to ignore a single attractive man needing someone to help him raise his nieces. His only focus is to find the right governess for the girls and to be the best vicar he can be, but meeting Gigi challenges what he believes he has to be as a good vicar. I loved seeing him learn he can be a vicar and still be himself so he can follow his heart and not a set of rules that don't really change how he is as a vicar.
There's an instant attraction when they meet, but they are very much opposites in what they want out of life or in a spouse. But that attraction keeps building and one stolen kiss isn't enough and in a small town, it's hard to avoid gossip and scandal when also trying to deny what your heart wants. Sometimes you just have to throw society aside and follow your heart.
As with all of Sandra's books, she challenges the norm with her characters by showing us some women and men didn't follow society's rules back then. I think she did a great job of showing the struggles that come with being a leader of a church and being a human with urges and a life outside of the church.
